Originally categorised as [[trip hop]], the group once included producer [[DJ Shadow]] and have employed a variety of guest artists and producers. ==History== ===First incarnation (1992–1996)=== The first release was the EP ''[[The Time Has Come]]'', created by Lavelle and Goldsworthy with Kudo and T. Nakanishi of the [[Japan]]ese [[Hip Hop]] crew [[Major Force]] (later Major Force West). At this point, UNKLE consisted of Lavelle, Goldsworthy and Kudo, who surrounded themselves with various guest artists, including [[Money Mark]] (former keyboard player for the [[Beastie Boys]]), the [[Scratch Perverts]] and Japanese clothes designer Nigo and Takagi Kan (both also of Major Force). The first release credited to the 'Men from U.N.K.L.E' was a remix for [[United Future Organization]], included on their 1992 ''Loud Minority'' single.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.discogs.com/United-Future-Organization-Loud-Minority/release/1226809\|title=United Future Organization - Loud Minority\|website=Discogs\|date=1992 \|access-date=5 April 2018}}</ref> Lavelle and Goldsworthy were joined by Masayuki Kudo and [[Toshio Nakanishi]] of the Japanese [[hip hop]] crew Major Force (later Major Force West). ===Second incarnation (1997–1999)=== In 1995, whilst working on their debut album, Goldsworty and Lavelle disagreed over the direction the music was taking. Goldsworthy wanted to continue with the [[Mo Wax]] house style of earlier tracks, while Lavelle wanted to bring in singers and Hip Hop and [[Rock music\|rock]] artists. Goldsworthy left the group and went on to work with [[Belfast]] DJ and producer [[David Holmes (musician)\|David Holmes]]. Lavelle drafted in [[DJ Shadow]] to work on the debut album, and essentially discarded all previously recorded material. Lavelle and Shadow released ''[[Psyence Fiction]]'' in 1998 to a mixed critical response. The album included collaborations with an all-star lineup including [[Thom Yorke]] ([[Radiohead]]), [[Mark Hollis (musician)\|Mark Hollis]] ([[Talk Talk]]), [[Mike D]] ([[Beastie Boys]]), [[Kool G Rap]], [[Jason Newsted]] ([[Metallica]]), [[Badly Drawn Boy]] and [[Richard Ashcroft]] ([[The Verve]]). The album was mixed by Shadow's long-time collaborator, producer [[Jim Abbiss]]. Shadow left the group after touring ''Psyence Fiction'' and was replaced by [[turntablist]] group the [[Scratch Perverts]], who deconstructed the album and performed it live on turntables in 1999. Also in 1999, former producer [[Rich File]] remixed the track "Unreal", adding vocals by [[Ian Brown]], and the resulting track was released as the single [[Be There (Unkle song)\|Be There]]. Lavelle drafted in [[DJ Shadow]] and essentially discarded all previously recorded material. "Berry Meditation" and several tracks with Money Mark and Beastie Boys producer [[Mario Caldatto Jr]], recorded at the house of singer [[Meat Loaf]], were released as singles, and several without Lavelle surfaced on the album ''Major Force West'' in 1997. In early 1998 three exclusive Japanese EPs were released, the last of the earlier UNKLE sessions to surface. On 1 February 1999, Lavelle and the Scratch Perverts appeared on the Radio 1 program [[The Breezeblock]], utilising "5 turntables". The set was largely based on tracks from ''Psyence Fiction'', with some of them reworked live by Lavelle for the live performance. The Scratch Perverts' contribution consisted of scratching over the top of the Unkle tracks, a deconstructed version of "Be There", and some solo interludes.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.mixesdb.com/db/index.php/1999-02-01_-_UNKLE_vs_Scratch_Perverts_-_Breezeblock_-_Headline_Set\|title=1999-02-01 - UNKLE vs Scratch Perverts - Breezeblock - Headline Set\|website=MixesDB − The database for mixes\|access-date=5 April 2018}}</ref> Lavelle and Shadow released the more commercial ''[[Psyence Fiction]]'' in 1998, on which they collaborated with an all-star lineup including [[Thom Yorke]] ([[Radiohead]]), [[Michael Diamond\|Mike D]] ([[Beastie Boys]]), [[Kool G. Rap]], [[Jason Newsted]] ([[Metallica]]), [[Badly Drawn Boy]] and [[Richard Ashcroft]] ([[The Verve]]). ===Third incarnation (2000–2007)=== Shadow left the group after touring ''Psyence Fiction'' and was replaced by [[turntablist]] group [[The Scratch Perverts]] who deconstructed the album and performed it live on turntables in 1999. Just prior to this, [[Forme]] producer [[Richard File]] remixed the track "Be There", adding vocals by [[Ian Brown]]. In 2001, Lavelle and File resurfaced as Unklesounds, with a DJ mix created for Japanese radio entitled ''[[Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats?]]'' This highlighted a new, more electronic direction the group had taken, and featured a number of tracks from ''Psyence Fiction'', remixed in a techy [[breakbeat]] style. Rich File co-produced, played and sang on the second album, ''[[Never, Never, Land]]'', released in 2003. The album again featured a number of high-profile contributors, including [[Ian Brown]], [[Josh Homme]] ([[Queens of the Stone Age]]), [[Robert Del Naja]] ([[Massive Attack]]) and [[Gary Mounfield\|Mani]] ([[The Stone Roses]], [[Primal Scream]]) among others. In 2001, Lavelle and File resurfaced as '''UNKLEsounds''' with a DJ mix created for Japanese radio entitled ''[[Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats?]]''. This highlighted the new, more electronic direction the group had taken, and featured a number of tracks from ''Psyence Fiction'', remixed in an [[ambient]] style. Lavelle and File continued releasing mixes as Unklesounds. The mix album ''[[Edit Music for a Film: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Reconstruction]]'', featuring movie [[sampling (music)\|samples]] and tracks from film soundtracks, was created for the After Dark 2004 event at the [[Institute of Contemporary Arts\|ICA London]]. A single [[compact disc\|CD]] version was handed out at the event, and it was released officially as an extended two disc set in 2005. The group recorded music for a short film titled ''[[The Seed (2006 film)\|The Seed]]'' directed by [[Joe Hahn]] alongside [[John Debney]] and [[Mike Shinoda]] of [[Linkin Park]].<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2385226/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_4 The Seed (2008)] ''[[IMDb]]''</ref> File co-produced, played and sang on 2003's ''[[Never, Never, Land]]''. The album featured another stellar lineup which included Ian Brown, [[Josh Homme]] ([[Queens of the Stone Age]]), [[Robert Del Naja]] ([[Massive Attack]]) and [[Gary Mounfield\|Mani]] ([[The Stone Roses]], [[Primal Scream]]) among others. In September 2006, Global Underground released ''[[Self Defence: Never, Never, Land Reconstructed and Bonus Beats]]'', a 4-CD box set of remixes and bonus tracks from the ''Never, Never, Land'' sessions, including tracks previously only available on the original [[DVD]] release of the album. It also contained remixes of a track mooted for their next album, featuring [[Ian Astbury]] of [[The Cult]], titled "Burn My Shadow". This album was less hyped than its predecessor, and also worked as a more coherent whole. Unfortunately, due to label changes and Lavelle's trademark insistence on multiple formats, it was not a major success. It is currently available in several forms from [[Global Underground]], for whom Lavelle has provided several [[DJ mixes]]. ''[[War Stories (album)\|War Stories]]'', the third album from Unkle, was released in summer 2007. The album again featured a number of guests including [[Josh Homme]], [[Gavin Clark]], [[Robert Del Naja]], [[Ian Astbury]], [[The Duke Spirit]], [[Autolux]] and [[Neil Davidge]]. Following the release of the single "Hold My Hand", Pablo Clements (of The Psychonauts) became an Unkle member. In the meantime, Lavelle and File continued releasing mixes as UNKLEsounds, and several earlier mixes appeared as bootlegs. The bootlegs are generally live recordings featuring DJ Shadow or The Psychonauts. ===Fourth incarnation (2008–present)=== The mix album ''[[Edit Music for a Film: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Reconstruction]]'', featuring tracks and songs from movie soundtracks as well as movie samples, was created for the After Dark 2004 event at the [[Institute of Contemporary Arts\|ICA London]]. A single CD version was handed out at the event. It was released somewhat officially as an extended two disc set in 2005. In January 2008 Unkle released ''More Stories'', containing a mix of [[B-side]]s, remixes, unreleased ''War Stories'' session tracks, and music composed for the film ''Odyssey in Rome''. The same month, Rich File announced he was leaving Unkle after 10 years' collaboration to pursue work with his new band, We Fell to Earth.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.noizemakesenemies.co.uk/2008/01/file-leaves-unkle-news.html\|title=Noize Makes Enemies.co.uk - File leaves Unkle\|website=noizemakesenemies.co.uk\|access-date=5 April 2018\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203093420/http://www.noizemakesenemies.co.uk/2008/01/file-leaves-unkle-news.html\|archive-date=3 February 2009\|url-status=dead}}</ref> In March the Lazarides Gallery in [[London]] showcased ''War Paint'', an exhibition of artworks inspired by the recent Unkle album ''War Stories'', with works from [[Robert Del Naja]], Warren du Preez, Nick Thornton Jones, Will Bankhead and [[Ben Drury]].<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.lazinc.com/content/images/exhibitions/war_paint/Press_release_-_War_Paint_at_Lazarides_Gallery.pdf\|title=War Paint at Lazarides Gallery\|website=lazinc.com\|access-date=5 April 2018}}{{Dead link\|date=July 2018 \|bot=InternetArchiveBot \|fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Unkle began touring the UK with [[Zoot Woman]] and Sebastian and Mr. Flash from the French electro record label [[Ed Banger Records]]. The concert, set across four acts, featured live performances from past Unkle contributors including [[Badly Drawn Boy]], Liela Moss from [[The Duke Spirit]], [[Clayhill\|Gavin Clark]] and Joel Cadbury from [[South (U.K. band)\|South]]. Unkle's fourth full album titled ''[[End Titles... Stories for Film]]'' was released in July 2008.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://unkle.shop.musictoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=1228_11285\|title=DJ James Lavelle/UNKLE \| Shop the DJ James Lavelle/UNKLE Official Store\|website=DJ James Lavelle/UNKLE \| Shop the DJ James Lavelle/UNKLE Official Store\|access-date=5 April 2018}}</ref> It includes collaborations with [[Chris Goss]], [[Black Mountain (band)\|Black Mountain]], [[Philip Sheppard (musician)\|Philip Sheppard]], Dave Bateman, Joel Cadbury, and James Griffith ([[Lake Trout (band)\|Lake Trout]]). The album is described in the sleeve notes by Lavelle as "not a new album in the usual sense, but new music that has been inspired by the moving image." As such, it can be considered a companion piece both to War Stories but also to the earlier Unklesounds mix, ''Edit Music for a Film''. In September 2006, Global Underground released ''[[Self Defence: Never, Never, Land Reconstructed and Bonus Beats]]'', a CD box set of remixes and bonus tracks related to ''Never, Never, Land'', including tracks previously only available on the original [[DVD]] release of the album. It also contains remixes of a track mooted from the forthcoming album, featuring [[Ian Astbury]] of [[The Cult]], titled "Burn My Shadow". This track has been performed live at UNKLE shows in the last year. 14 December 2008 saw the digital release of ''End Titles... Redux'', an album that was released the following day in a limited pressing of 3000 CDs available from official Unkle stores. This release features seven re-interpreted tracks from the album ''End Titles... Stories for Film'' plus 2 never-before-released tracks, "When Once It Was" and "A Perfect Storm". The exclusive package is a 6-panel soft-pack with a 12-page booklet with images by [[Robert Del Naja]]. UNKLE's new album ''[[War Stories (Album)\|War Stories]]'' will feature guest appearances by [[Josh Homme]] ([[Kyuss]], [[Queens of the Stone Age]]), [[Brody Dalle]] ([[The Distillers]]), [[The Duke Spirit]], [[Chris Goss (U.S.)\|Chris Goss]] ([[Masters of Reality]]), Psycho Pab and [[Autolux]]. [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/search/google/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001921346]. It is due July 9th(UK/Europe/Australia), July 24(US), June 20(Japan) with the single 'Burn my Shadow', featuring [[Ian Astbury]] out June 25th(UK). Upon the release of the single "[[Heavy Drug (Surrender Sounds Mix)]]" in August 2009, Unkle disclosed they had already begun recording their next studio album, ''[[Where Did the Night Fall]]'', which was released in May 2010. This also included an all-star cast of performers including: [[Mark Lanegan]], [[Nick Cave]], [[The Black Angels (band)\|The Black Angels]], [[Sleepy Sun]], and [[Katrina Ford]], as well as ELLE J and Gavin Clark. The album is also available as a digital download from Unkle's site. ~~In May 2007, their track "Lonely Soul" was used as part of the Game Trailer for the upcoming game [[Assassin's Creed]].~~ It was announced on 18 April 2011 that Unkle would headline the Dance Stage at the [[Reading and Leeds Festivals]].<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://leedsfestival.com/2011/news/article/the_dance_stage_is_unveiled \|title=Leeds Festival News \| News and Announcements for 2012 \|publisher=Leedsfestival.com \|date=2012-04-24 \|access-date=2012-04-28 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120323114516/http://leedsfestival.com/2011/news/article/the_dance_stage_is_unveiled \|archive-date=23 March 2012 \|url-status=dead}}</ref> They would be performing a world-exclusive audio-visual DJ set at the festivals, playing songs from their back catalogue alongside remixes of other artists' songs as well as Unkle's own material.
